T1g4h posted:Yo, racing sim dudes, what would you guys suggest I get if I wanted a decent wheel to play DiRT Rally with? I'm picking up a GTX 970 + another 8GB of RAM in a few weeks, after that I think I'm gonna splurge on a nice wheel / pedal combo. I kinda want to get a Logitech G27 but I don't know if I can justify that $240 price. I mean, it looks loving rad and I really really really want it, but is there anything decent that's a bit less pricy? I have a DrivingForce GT I used for iRacing and its been perfectly serviceable. Picked it up used cheap and it was dead simple to configure.

I'm also a fan of the 100 yard "drag a whole Subaru rear suspension" dash - realizing they close in 5 minutes is powerful motivation. Junkyard/garage workouts are the best. As for lining the bolts up, it's probably a funky angle or you have the bushing the first one went through stretched oddly from the weight. I hate that.

I miss the days of having labor work, or the days on the farm. I was a tanned, sexy rear end teenager/early 20er.. If I'd been a bit less oblivious I could have been drowning in tail, but I was content with the girl who crushed on me for two years who then shattered my heart into a million pieces a few years later. Realtalk: How the gently caress am I still not over a girl I dated from 2006-2012 who cheated on me multiple times? Ugh. Now, with a desk job/traveling night job, I sometimes have to go a week or more without being able to turn on the stove, living off of gas station food. Biking to work turned things around a bit, but still.

I had one girlfriend in high school, none in college, and was basically a total dipshit in that regard. Working all day outside, climbing up and down a water tanker truck's tank over and over... That and cross country really did amazing things to teenage me.

General_Failure posted:The problem I'm facing with the poly plumbing is I have no idea how to do it. I'm going to have to ask my in-laws what fittings they used and where they got them. Metric poly has made doing poly plumbing absolutely dead simple. Get blue line poly in whatever size you choose and simply cut to length for your runs. The joiners and elbows all slide over the outside and then you tighten the collar down with a pair of multi grips or a pipe wrench. Make all sorts of elbows, tees, joiners and adapters to BSP in elbows and tees too. They even make one like a shark bite fitting to grab onto old unthreaded copper or galv too. Not the cheapest solution out there, but certainly easiest. Philmac used to have the soul patent on it but it's expired- shop around cos there are cheaper versions of the connectors. Also go to an ag shop rather than hardware store if you can.

mariooncrack posted:Chicken is pretty bland when it isn't seasoned. By that, do you mean "completely unseasoned" or "only seasoned with salt and pepper"? Because chicken tastes goddamn awesome by itself, unless you only eat skinless boneless chicken breast, in which case you may as well just stop eating altogether, since you have literally no tastebuds. Get some thighs, skin and bones and all, and it'll taste OK even without seasoning. Add just salt and pepper and it becomes downright heavenly. (And it becomes the best food in the entire world when basted after cooking, in its own juices mixed with fresh thyme.)

I've thought that the saying "it tastes like chicken" comes from the fact that chicken itself is relatively unseasoned. I probably should have explained it better in my first post.

Goddamn. That was a hell of a show. Chunk, No Captain Chunk! puts on a hell of a show! But everything kind of went downhill afterwards. Blew my budget by double (I HAD to have a Chunk, No Captain Chunk! shirt, plus like a dipshit I knocked a drink out of someone's hand while jumping around, so I bought her another drink... I'd already closed my tab, and they had a $10 minimum when paying by card, so I asked what the cheapest shot would be for me to buy to bring it up to $10), tried to drive home afterwards thinking I was sotally tober enough, realized that was a bad idea after I played Whack a Jersey Barrier, got a room at a Motel 6 down the road (nearly 70 miles to get home, it's a bad enough idea to drive a mile after a few beers, I have no loving idea what I was thinking). So I blew my budget at the show by about $40, then blew $55 on a lovely hotel room that I slept less than 4 hours in. Upside is the a/c was ice cold, and the shower was loving awesome (scalding hot with a massage shower head). I figure I overspent by nearly $100.  Woke up around 3am, took a shower, checked out of the motel (felt bad about waking up the owner to check out, she was obviously irritated), got a mile down the road before I realized my Whack A Boss isn't happy. Thankfully he was awake when I texted him "had a flat, then the spare blew out", he hopes I can make it in at some point today. Probably not happening though, I'm not on the insurance for any other car here. Also, faith in humanity restored for a bit. Someone was walking around with a Fitbit at the show and asking who it belonged to. Wound up being mine, I guess it fell off while I was jumping/moshing/shoving/etc. Double checked to make sure it was mine and synced to my phone before taking it from them, gave her a hug and bought her a drink. Never noticed it had fallen off, they found it on the floor. Also, the accent of the guys in Chunk! is loving adorable.

I might actually have a job lined up, at long loving last. Email exchange has been very promising, they've talked to one of my references, and they want the position filled quickly which given that I'm currently unemployed works for me! It'll be nice to put money in the Impractical Car Fund rather than take it out.

I don't have a problem eating right despite all the other problems I have. When I first went off the rails I spent all my time learning growing, cooking and buying the right poo poo. Didn't help for me because I am me , but for the normal person it might. Roasting or stir frying most veg make them taste delicious. Then it's vinegars, spices and Asian sauces that help top them off. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 14:00 on May 7, 2015 |

I've even had this weird skin problem on my face but I thought it was because our water softener is broken. Maybe I do have late-onset celiac. Is there a test they can run for that, or is it a case of "stop eating gluten for a few weeks and see what happens." edit: Although, if I have bread or pasta or something gluteny, I don't feel like poo poo afterwards. Not that I can remember, anyway. Nobody in my family has it that I know of, maybe that's what it is though. Fo3 posted:How's your sleep? Plus what do you do, eat or drink before it and how lovely is the situation (bed/mattress, noise, partner etc)? I get a minimum of 7 hours of sleep a night, typically about nine. It feels like a good sleep, though I'm not a morning person and hit my snooze button several times. My pillow is old and flat and I need a new one pretty bad. If I sleep on my back it has a tendency to trigger episodes of sleep paralysis (and seriously, gently caress that poo poo), but I never get them if I stay off of my back. I avoid food for at least an hour before I go to bed, sometimes I'll have a drink or two in that hour. Rarely though. Occasionally I shower right before bed. Usually the half hour before I go to bed I'm showering and trying to corral the kids into their beds, clean up their messes downstairs, turn all the lights off that they left on, yell at the kids to go to bed again, bring the cats inside (they hang out in our sunroom, it isn't outside-outside), yell at the kids again to go to bed... I never feel stressed out, but I'm sure my kids cause me a certain amount of anxiety and that may also be driving some of the symptoms.
